Praise for ENRICH
Consider:
- Career is important, but is it enough? Is career an end or a means?
- What do I want to accomplish? What is my legacy?
- What constitutes an optimal life? How can I enhance my quality of life?
- What is success and how much is enough?
- If life is a journey, where’s the darned road map?
- Which is more valuable: money or time?
- How do I prevent work from crowding out life?
- How do I insulate myself from a significant shock, such as job loss or market crash?
The Reality Check
For many, the reality of modern professional life - chasing that elusive carrot - looks something like this...
... which often results in:
1. Financial Insecurity: Most people equate financial security with job security. That is dangerous. Job security diminishes at all levels including those precious white-collar jobs—because of accelerations in technological disruption, globalization, corporate consolidation, outsourcing, and a global pandemic. “A job—once the guarantor of income security—no longer reliably plays that role,” declared The New York Times in April 2020.
2. Time Poverty: A global study conducted in eight countries by Ernst & Young found that insufficient time accounts for four of the five biggest hurdles professionals face.
3. Stalled Progress Toward Personal Priorities: How we spend our days does not add up to what matters most. Professionals routinely accept a disappointing disconnect between how we spend our time, and how we wish we could spend our time.
The world has changed dramatically, but the principals of life success haven’t
The unprecedented events of 2020 create an opportunity to rethink, rebuild, and rejuvenate our lives, careers, and finances to create a new, enriched normal with 20/20 clarity about what matters most.

Robust, Global Research and Case Studies
ENRICH culminates years of research into best practices and academic investigation across many disciplines. To develop this book I interviewed professionals around the world from a spectrum of backgrounds and perspectives. These individuals achieve professional success and live exuberantly.
I then went further. I spoke with several multiple world record holders to dig into how they set and achieve Everest-sized goals, and to learn some of their secrets of success. There’s much to learn from the first, fastest, or the sole person on the planet to accomplish something.
Some of the fascinating people whom you’ll meet and learn from in this book, include:
- An IT executive who used the ENRICH principles to turn around a job loss in just four months--during the worst employment market since the Depression
- A professional who refuses to squander time after a near-death experience
- A former venture capitalist who jettisoned a lucrative corporate career to have 100% control over his time, and fostered a vocation that provides tremendous meaning
- World-record adventurers who share their insights on thinking big, goal setting, and achievement
- A country-hopping executive who prioritized financial security--which created multiplier dividends that also enriched her life professionally and personally
- A media executive who sustained motivation toward a personally significant five-year quest
- Executives who crafted ideal “dream” jobs gainst the odds in characteristically rigid industries
- A prominent veterinarian who integrated family, work, personal, and social priorities—and established a world record in his spare time
